Comments OffLet the Music Play
Posted by Rick Klau on August 26th, 2009
Earlier this year, a number of our users complained about their experience on the receiving end of a DMCA complaint. Much commentary at the time focused on claims that we were removing blog posts at the behest of music labels, that we were not notifyin…

Posted by Windows Live Mail on August 21st, 2009
This week, we announced an update to Windows Live Essentials (including the new Windows Live Movie Maker—pretty slick!). It also includes some updates that address customer and compatibility issues in Windows Live Mail. You can install it from http://download.live.com .
In particular:
- Windows Live Mail can now properly import Outlook Express mail account settings that were transferred from a Windows XP to a new Vista or Windows 7 system using the Windows Easy Transfer wizard.
- Some users had problems launching Windows Live Mail and we have addressed this. In some cases, after you closed Windows Live Mail, the application would appear to close, but the wlmail.exe process would continue to run in the background. That process would prevent Mail from launching in the future.
- On Vista and Windows 7, Windows Live Mail wouldn’t connect properly to POP email servers using SSL. In particular, this affected some users of Yahoo! Mail.
The update is version 2009 (Build 14.0.8089.0726). You can check your current version number in the About Windows Live Mail dialog.
One last thing… we’d like to thank you for your feedback. We rely on it as we continue to improve your experience using Windows Live Mail. Thank you for using Windows Live Mail and for helping us build a great product.
Rodger Benson
Lead Program Manager

Posted by Jason Toff on August 11th, 2009
Tabs can be great for working with multiple pages at the same time. But if you open them by right-clicking links and selecting “Open link in new tab,” you might not have realized that there’s an easier way. Just use your middle mouse button (it might…
